What are the benefits of training on the stepper?
Training on the stepper is efficient and strenuous, as you can tell from the sore muscles afterwards. But what exactly do you achieve when you do long laps on the stepper? And what are the benefits of training on the stepper? In this overview, we look at which muscle groups you train, what the training looks like for your joints and how your heart and lungs benefit from it.
The stepper - what are the benefits and how do you optimize performance?
The stepper primarily trains your legs. More specifically, it is the gluteus maximus, which also forms the buttocks, the thigh puller and the two-headed thigh muscle. Training for the calves is more peripheral and, like training for the upper body, has a negligible effect.
All of these muscles are among the larger muscles in your body and therefore increase your caloric basal metabolic rate particularly efficiently. In short: you build up the large muscles and thus increase your fat burning. So you can get toned legs and lose weight easily with your workout on the stepper, what else does it do?
The regular, flowing and relatively joint-friendly movement also trains the muscles in the lower back. This can relieve any tension that occurs there and thus have a preventative effect against complaints in the intervertebral disc region. Steppers are therefore often used in physiotherapy to loosen and release tense muscles.
Regular training on the stepper also improves your cardiovascular system and can increase your lung capacity. However, you will only achieve quick results at the beginning; if you are already well trained, you can only celebrate small successes with the stepper - as with any other sport.
Hard work on the stepper, what are the benefits of training?
The stepper has positive effects on muscle building, fat loss and circulation thanks to all these properties. At the same time, training on the stepper has even more benefits, as it is particularly suitable for beginners. The lower body can be fully trained with the stepper, which has made this machine a real perennial favorite in gyms and at home. Especially those who sit a lot in their daily work can noticeably relieve the strain on their back and legs and find their way to a more sporty life with the stepper.
